November 4, 2002—The US General Services Administration (GSA) presented GSA Achievement Awards for Real Property Innovation to the Department of the Air Force and the GSA Public Buildings Service for their winning best practices in the federal real estate community.
The Air Force winning entry, “The Malmstrom Partnering Initiative with the Operation Walking Shield Program,” was submitted by Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. Air Force partnered with the nonprofit group, Operation Walking Shield, to transfer excess Air Force housing units to three Native American tribes to meet critical housing needs.
A team from the GSA Public Buildings Service in the New England regional office won for their entry “Chelmsford, Customer Satisfaction through Sustainability.” GSA collaborated with the Environmental Protection Agency to deliver a major “green” facility in Chelmsford, Mass, to satisfy EPA’s customer needs and champion sustainable development.
All of the 2002 best practices submissions have been published online.
